My $300 lesson about trying to warn people on a gardening forum

I lost that much on a 'guaranteed' pest trap after a mod deleted my review calling it a scam and banned me for 'spreading misinformation' when I posted the proof, so has anyone else had a review taken down just for being negative?

That's brutal, sorry that happened. Seen it before on some forums where the mods get a bit too cozy with the sponsors (or just hate being wrong). Next time, maybe post the proof on a personal blog or social media and just link to it. They can delete the link, but the proof stays up somewhere else. A lot of those "guaranteed" garden gadgets are total junk anyway.
